Close all the tax loopholes big corporations use.
Then I’d banish Nigel Farrage and Tommy Robinson to some remote island so we don’t have to see them ever again |

Make smacking your kids illegal (oooooo)
Make it so every new parent went on a compulsory first aid course. If there’s more than a five year gap between each child, then you’d go on another course when pregnant again. |

Out with no deal. Therefore respecting he mandate given to him by both the people and parliament.
Then call a general election. With a part policy that a non-legally binding referendum in 2 years time where the question is ‘knowing what you do now would you consider applying to re-join?’
Suits everybody.

So?
That’s not something this, or any future prime minister could do anything about when parliament have rejected every deal that has been offered. And yes, obviously the EU are only offering deals they know will be rejected |

1. Stop MPs changing party after election
2. MPs should not be able to vote against what they stood for in the elections (e.g. those who stood on a leave manifesto should be banned from excluding no deal and rejecting every deal that’s proffered)
3. Proportional representation

Have you not contradicted yourself right from the get go? How can it be democracy if you cancel so etching a majority voted for? (The merits or otherwise of either side in the referendum are irrelevant to my point here)
And if you have two referenda, each with a different result, do you assume things stay the same as they were or go for best of three? |

It’s up to both sides to make a deal that works. But both also have the opportunity to walk away, ie, No Deal.
The UK wants a deal that works, the EU (with its own good reason) wants one which is punitive and disincentivises any other net contributor leaving |

Allow those who want to leave to set up an independent state. Allow those who want to remain to remain in the EU. Allocate resources between the two based on a local vote on leave or remain, resources remain in an area where remain wins etc. Allocate the areas based on current electoral wards. Give those who want to to live to a remain area or leave area post vote, and pay their bus fare. |

Oooo I would:
1. Start charging market rates for rent to social housing to those that can afford it.
2. Review the benefits system! Those not willing to work will no longer be paid cash but will be given a pre charged card to use at Tesco/Asda/Supermarket (alcohol and fags not allowed)
3. Open a government run system for purchasing TV's furniture, phones etc on credit for those on benefits and make a ruling that those on benefits cant get credit (to stop companies charging ridiculous interest which essentially is paid out of our taxes)
4. Those that cant 'find' a job and on benefits will work for local council cleaning streets or helping the community. Before people start ripping in to this idea - these groups will need to be managed. Those unemployed/between jobs with, let's say , managerial experience can manage groups/regions. - it stops people stagnating. - it stops some thinking benefits is an easy option. - more importantly it gives all a reference for future employers. |

Revoke Article 50, as there is insufficient time to negotiate new changes and implement them, if getting the best for the UK os important.
I'd pass law that there has to be another referendum that gets the data on current electorates needs and opinion upon the likely EU agreement.
With a referendum secured by law, I would resign due to my personal failings and provide my full apologies to the country and ensure I could never seek or secure a future public servant job that is anything other than wiping arses in NHS hospitals for the rest of my life. If I secure any income or employemen, 80% of it for life would be paid to all UK hospices. |

Frstly, I would use the mountain of secret intelligence linking most of the left of the Labour Party to foreign intelligence services to arrest them immediately. I would unilaterally revoke article 50. Then I would stop Sinn Fein MPs wages as they don’t turn up for work. Then I would slap billions of pounds of tariffs on ROI goods as a kick in the balls to Varadkar for being such a cunt. Then I would give parties who want to go back into the NI assembly the opportunity to to do so and to form an executive. Parties who don’t want to form a government will be excluded . Then I would arrest Gerry Adams using the millions of documents linking him to being a mass murderer as evidence against him, freezing his assets and confiscating his silly glasses and forcibly remove his beard. |

Soviet style communism?! How do you work that out? I didn't mention anything about rewarding success. Just incase you dont understand the logic I've spelt it out for you below:
Point 1. Social housing is aimed at low income families that can't afford to pay market prices for rent. In my opinion if you can afford to rent privately you should to free up the social housing for someone less fortunate!
Points 2 & 4. There are many people abusing the benefits system and not working because they would be no better off working on minimum wage. So why slog your guts out when you could be sat at home on the same money? You cant blame their logic! So change the system so it's more worth their while working than sitting at home living off other peoples taxes.
Point 3. Pay day loans, hire purchase companies such as Brighthouse (or what ever it's called these days) earn millions from those on benefits because other lenders wont touch them. Rather than greedy companies profiting from A. Vulnerable people on low incomes and B. Other peoples taxes a system run by the government to purchase tv's, furniture and other items at little over cost price makes everyone a winner! Those on benefits dont end up paying twice what an items worth, which I would suggest is the main bonus!
If that's Soviet style communism then all I can say is Na Zdorovie. I'm pretty sure it isn't though!

"Unfortunately asking Teresa May's Tories to get a good Brexit deal was like asking a vegan to cook us all a decent steak. "
Lol.
That made me chuckle.
Then I remembered a "good Brexit deal" doesn't exist.
That's the cake-and-eat-it mindset that ought to have been debunked by now.
It's only ever been about the "least worst" option.

"Oooo I would:
1. Start charging market rates for rent to social housing to those that can afford it.
2. Review the benefits system! Those not willing to work will no longer be paid cash but will be given a pre charged card to use at Tesco/Asda/Supermarket (alcohol and fags not allowed)
3. Open a government run system for purchasing TV's furniture, phones etc on credit for those on benefits and make a ruling that those on benefits cant get credit (to stop companies charging ridiculous interest which essentially is paid out of our taxes)
4. Those that cant 'find' a job and on benefits will work for local council cleaning streets or helping the community. Before people start ripping in to this idea - these groups will need to be managed. Those unemployed/between jobs with, let's say , managerial experience can manage groups/regions. - it stops people stagnating. - it stops some thinking benefits is an easy option. - more importantly it gives all a reference for future employers.
so punish success and have a big brother style government controlling and enforcing work and purchasing.
Soviet style communism - nice
Soviet style communism?! How do you work that out? I didn't mention anything about rewarding success. Just incase you dont understand the logic I've spelt it out for you below:
Point 1. Social housing is aimed at low income families that can't afford to pay market prices for rent. In my opinion if you can afford to rent privately you should to free up the social housing for someone less fortunate!
Points 2 & 4. There are many people abusing the benefits system and not working because they would be no better off working on minimum wage. So why slog your guts out when you could be sat at home on the same money? You cant blame their logic! So change the system so it's more worth their while working than sitting at home living off other peoples taxes.
Point 3. Pay day loans, hire purchase companies such as Brighthouse (or what ever it's called these days) earn millions from those on benefits because other lenders wont touch them. Rather than greedy companies profiting from A. Vulnerable people on low incomes and B. Other peoples taxes a system run by the government to purchase tv's, furniture and other items at little over cost price makes everyone a winner! Those on benefits dont end up paying twice what an items worth, which I would suggest is the main bonus!
If that's Soviet style communism then all I can say is Na Zdorovie. I'm pretty sure it isn't though!
"
When I was a youth visiting friends in France who worked in education, they had something similar to an Argos catalogue that was owned and run by their Union. It was massively successful and you could buy everything from a coffee cup to a citroen 2CV for way less than the open market price. I am not sure it would work these days because of Amazon and the destruction of the high street but its not a terrible idea. Then again charities like emmaus do far more these days than any government scheme is likely to do and if you’re poor the reasons for borrowing from high interest lenders is likely because you are financially incompetent or have nothing in the bank (as it were) for bad days (illness, the gig economy, etc). Ideas are good but reality is very different and for all the so called benefit scroungers who are wily enough to work the system, I imagine there are an awful lot more who barely cope or end up on the streets. |

I didn't say it was for those that were poor, I said for those on benefits; although it could be opened up to low income families I guess. |

Disestablish the monarchy,
Form a republic(get advice from the French, they're experienced.)
Make it compulsory to have citizens nude beaches in every council area.
Every junior public servant will get issued with a Royal Enfield motorbike.
Every senior civil servant gets issued with a land Rover.
School canteens will be open to the public, including the homeless.
It would be an offence to play the bagpipes in public hearing inside the 12 mile limit. |

I would cancel brexit, and make the ultra rich pay their taxes.
Implement a fossil fuel free energy policy.
Revoke citizenship from Tony Blair.
Decentralise power and responsibilities to local authorities.
And then quit.
I realise that the PM can't do many of these. But hey, it's a fantasy scenario. |

"I would first of all stop brexit then introduce policies such as democracy means democracy meaning there should always be a 2nd referendum as the people have seen how it went, what fun things would you do? It could be naughty things too
Why a second referendum? Complete waste of time! The majority voted OUT!
The majority voted out based on complete lies. That is right they did that, that was the only reason brexit got votes.
The only reason?Not the only reason but the majority of it.
How do you know this is a fact?" Because there are always few reasons, another one was a for a misguided nostalgia. |

Have you not contradicted yourself right from the get go? How can it be democracy if you cancel so etching a majority voted for? (The merits or otherwise of either side in the referendum are irrelevant to my point here)
And if you have two referenda, each with a different result, do you assume things stay the same as they were or go for best of three?
....cancel something a majority voted for....
Bloody phone! " Because everyone have seen how it have gone so by cancelling it would be best for the countries interest to keep the union together. I wouldnt say it was the vast majority as the perfect ratio to show what the people want would be at 60/40. |

Five of those could be solved by just cancelling brexit. |

Introduce a properly regulated mixed market economy with a properly functioning graduated universal income tax on all earning (including corporate earnings) in the UK. I would also cancel all private contractor 'for profit' NHS contracts (including PFI's) and re-centralise NHS procurement using economies of scale to drive prices down.
I would then move on to remove all the 'rich only' tax breaks that successive right wing governments have given the wealthy over the last 40 years and use the income generated to reverse the economic decline that was started by Thatcher and continues to today. |

It is a shame you have become so indoctrinated that you have lost the ability to read what is in front of you unless it conforms with the neo-liberal 'trickle down' economic doctrine that it is the rich and corporations that create wealth and jobs and anything that does not conform to this model is communism. Fact is a regulated mixed market economy is a capitalist economy. But pay no heed to me, you keep up with your labeling people like me comrades. I'm sure that whichever billionaire gets to profit from the corporate liquidation of your future to add to their fortune will order their functionaries to halt because Clem Fandango is loyal to a neo-liberal unregulated market and trickle down economic.

Dont worry about him. I honestly think he doesn't understand what communism really is!
I agree with your comments regarding NHS contractors. I work in the MOD and understand how ludicrous the contracts system is! Unfortunately it's all about annual savings, so what saves us a few quid this year costs us millions a couple of years down the line.
I'm not being a communist for having a negative view about how my taxes are spent! |

I would negotiate a brexit deal with the EU or stalemate to a no deal.
I would then do a broadcast saying
"We held an advisory referendum on leaving the EU. The referendum was non binding but enough of a majority voted for it for us to start brexit negotiations and find out exactly what Brexit means.
Now we are holding a binding referendum. You will vote for the deal or to stay in the EU. This is what the deal is, and this is what being in the EU means."
then I would hold a binding referendum. |

This sounds reasonable. Except that point 10 negates the ability to achieve 1-9. |
